Whatever happened to Mocha Joe if I may ask because I am so sad that everything you said is in now in your memory.
It's a beautiful memory though, remembering the friends you gained as a result of coffee and drawing and how each one of you knew one another even though by your faces
Cheers to this memory.
Gentrification is one component. A larger percentage of small businesses have been pushed out for that and many other reasons.
Everything changes as time goes by and eventually all that is left are memories of what was. What I really miss is how different people were then as compared to now.
Thanks for checking out my post and cheers to memories!
